Process
I went through three rounds:
- One behavioral
- Two technical
The first round was easy, and the second was a bit harder. Overall, the process was pretty fast and didn’t require much effort on my end.
Questions
They asked me about the Monty Hall problem in my behavioral interview.

Pros: Slightly Above the Market Salary Range
Lots of new things to learn.

Managers and Tech Leads constantly bug people all day and will ask almost every 15 minutes, "What are you currently doing?"
Every six months, management changes happen, and they bring new sets of "priorities" and confusions.
Very high infighting among teams and between different organizations.
